The Viewfinder: “Ain’t No Doubt About It” by The Game
The Game’s R.E.D. Album has had it’s release date shuffled around like a well-worn deck of cards with no clear reason why. The L.A. rapper’s fourth album now looks to have it’s clearest push to release yet with the unveiling of “Ain’t No Doubt About It”, a single and video that features Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake. The video is pretty much the stereotypical hot chicks on a yacht scenario, with a fair amount of product placement. Pretty much par […]
The Viewfinder: “Chains” by Kenna
When you’ve covered someone as much as we’ve covered Kenna, the trick then becomes “what the hell else can we say about this guy?”. Hella underrated, incredibly dope, and feeding us with new music this year for the first time in four years. His work has brought out the best in the Neptunes’ production, and his latest EP, Land 2 Air Chronicles 1 , is the hotness (and it’s only three bucks on iTunes-you have NO excuse). The first video from the project has surfaced, […]
Hear Here!: Kenna’s “Chains”
Kenna’s one of those artists that makes me wonder if the American music-buying public is completely dumb. If I ruled the world, this guy would have sold millions of copies of his first two albums, New Sacred Cow and Make Sure They See My Face. Of course, he also doesn’t fall into the music-buying public’s fairly narrow definition of what a black artist should sound like, a fate that has also recently prevented commercial breakthroughs by the likes of Kele/Bloc […]

No, not NOTHING nothing! “Nothing”! It’s the new album from N.E.R.D.! Good Lord, I’m corny. Anyway, this week’s list of new releases is headed up by the fourth effort from Pharrell, Chad and that other dude that doesn’t do shit. To my mild shock, it turned out to actually be a decent album. Probably my favorite Pharrell-related effort other than “In Search Of…”, the first N.E.R.D. album. It sounds fun, Pharrell’s voice and lyrics are less annoying than usual, and […]
All You Need to Know About the Music of…Madonna! (Part Three)
Madonna came into the Nineties like a lion, and exited the decade like a lamb. Her final effort of the decade, “Ray of Light”, found Madge in a contemplative, serene mood completely unlike her public persona for the previous decade and a half. By the turn of the decade, she was a mother once, about to become a mother for the second time, and had even finally gotten some love from the establishment, winning a handful of Grammy Awards to […]
